Question 12 • HCISD-Integrated Physics and Chemistry A-CR SUMMER
Scientists described light as a wave because the results of many experiments with light demonstrated that light behaves as a wave. Light is now described as having properties of both a wave and a particle. What is the most likely reason why this change was made?
Answer
A
Enough scientists voted to accept the change.
B
Data collected from many experiments could not be explained using waves.
C
A well-known scientist published a paper that described light as a particle.
D
A single experiment’s results demonstrated both wave and particle properties.
